Well, my 4600 did come with a 90 day version of McAfee.

Having said this, all programs installed on your Dell when you got it should
be accompanied by CD's you got when you purchased the system.

Further, go here: www.belarc.com

Download the (free) Belarc Advisor and run it. It will provide a great deal
about your hardware and software installed.

> I HAVE A DELL DIMENSION 4600C  WITH 2.73 GHZ/2.73 GHz/512MB, I did not set
my computer up when we first rec'd it, so here's my question: I do I find
out if there is anti-virus software loaded in the system? I looked in my
prgram list and did not see anthing pertaining to that type of program.
Everytime I try to call dell, I'm on hold forever. Can anyone walk me
through the steps to find out where it is?

understand all the different terms, ie; software,hardware,memory,etc. (get
the picture?) I sure would appreciate it if anyone out there can assist me.
Thanks,Jane

I called Dell and he had me try some things that didn't work and said to call MS- which didn't care to talk without a price- I then called McAfee and got no good advice- I then got back to Dell and a tech wisely suggested running RESTORE which succeeded in fixing the browser and email program. ...
